UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors' judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan.

It's not just flawed, it's flawed in UnitedHealthcare's favor.

That's not a flaw... that's fraud.

spotted over on Reddit and decided to post here for my fellow villainfuckers who are Big Smad™ that Larian won't let y'all smash

quick Heads Up: Rogue Trader is very similar to Baldurs Gate 3 insofar as it serves as an introduction into the franchise for folks with no previous knowledge of DnD/Warhammer. You can 100% go in totally blind, but some stuff will be a bit more impactful if you've some prior knowledge. Combat is turn-based and pretty forgiving of mistakes on lower difficulties. It's incredibly text heavy, so make sure to adjust the on-screen text to a comfortable size before diving in.

The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.

It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do about that. I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply fucked.

However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.

Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess. We can’t count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

new reason to stay alive: outlive the trump presidency, live to see the day he's guaranteed to never be in office ever again and make sure he knows that he'll never have enough power to kill you

stay strong, friends, this isn't your fault

Hello! Small announcement from me even though I've been gone for like. Ever. ANYWAYS-

I have decided to try my hand at dabbling in ai bot creation on Sakura.fm. After the whole incident recently with c.ai, I stumbled on Sakura instead. It's pretty promising... but there IS a lack of bots. It's very small compared to c.ai but could grow! I'd love to help it to.

Would anyone be interested in requesting a specific bot? I want to try at it first, get the hang of it, and see where I can take it- but if it goes well, I'd be willing to create specific things for people!

Lmk if you're interested. Currently working on 2 bots rn- one from Genshin Impact and one from Star Wars. I'll post when done!
